ECN-2 development issue?

[mrche]

Hello,

I've got a Kodak Vision3 250D film from the lab, and it has some strange stains on the first 4 frames. The lab says that "The developed negative shows signs of fogging from perforation and other contamination during exposure", but it doesn't seem so to me. This is the first time I have this problem, no previous films had it when using the same camera (Horizon 202). The remaining frames look good. Am I wrong thinking that the problem is on their side?

Thank you in advance!
Alex

As always, showing inverted and edited scans does not help very much. Please, post a picture of the actual negatives.

Hello Samu, sure, I'll collect the negatives from the lab today and will post an update. Thanks.

Welcome to Photrio!

This looks like a processing error where the film stuck to itself briefly during development and then came loose again for the remainder of the process. This can happen in dip & dunk and tank & reel systems.

That's up there with the other Disney fairy tales.

My thought too.

Hello koraks, hello loccdor, sorry for delay with the reaction, and thank you for your answers! I have a couple of undeveloped films from the same trip, so I'll try another lab)

Fingers crossed it goes well for the remainder of the film! The photos are worth it for sure. Good luck!

Same thing happened to me with the 250D I shot - film stuck to itself. Very frustrating
